Proposal to require sick pay divides area business community
Proposal for paid sick leave
A Seattle City Council committee at 2 p.m. Wednesday will discuss mandating paid sick days.Businesses with the equivalent of ...
... 1 to 49 full-time workers would have to provide up to five days of paid sick leave in a year.
... 50 to 249 full-time employees would have to provide up to seven days in a year.
... 250 or more full-time employees would have to provide up to nine days in a year.
... 1,000 or more full-time equivalent employees would have to provide one hour of paid leave — which would include vacation and sick time — for every 15 hours worked, with at least half the time available for paid-sick time.
Also, businesses less than 2 years old would be exempt. There would be a waiting period before workers could start using their accrued paid sick time. At businesses with fewer than 250 employees, the wait would be 180 days. At larger companies, it would be 90 days.
While the proposal is called a "paid-sick-leave" ordinance, it would also apply in cases where a worker was injured or the victim of domestic violence.
Source: Seattle City Council Terry Proios, owner of 14 Carrot Cafe, doesn't think the city should force her to pay sick employees for missing work. Proios, 68, is the kind of neighborhood restaurant owner who, after 19 years, still stops to chat with regulars, pours the ice water herself and helps man the cash register at her Eastlake cafe. When one of her eight part-time employees misses a day — and she can't find a replacement — it's Proios who picks up the slack. Under a Seattle City Council proposal, Proios and every business owner in the city would be forced to provide paid sick leave for their workers. Bigger businesses would have to offer more paid days than smaller businesses, but all companies would be required, for the first time, to compensate employees for missing work for medical reasons, most often because they or a family member were sick.

Cupcake Royale Irish Whiskey Bacon Maple Cupcake ...
Cupcake Royale Irish Whiskey Maple Bacon Cupcake. Even the name is a decadent mouthful. Say it out loud and contemplate the magnitude of this veritable Goliath of pastry goodness. Cupcake. Whiskey. Bacon. I dare you to find a more ultimate trifecta of olafactory and flavor pleasure. Well met, Cupcake Royale. You have managed to use both of our website’s featured ingredients and put it on cake! And big ups to The Vegetarian for giving me the heads-up on this before it came and went.
So let’s get into it. Cupcake Royale is one of Seattle’s many gourmet cupcakeries. Every month they do an extra-fancy limited edition offering on top of their normal selection. I’m sure you’ve figured out by now what March’s offering is. When I picked up my cupcakes, I was stoked to hear how excited the staff was that they were making them. “I love that we’re selling these because it means every morning we get to cook bacon and the whole place smells like it”. With an attitude like that, you know that a lot of love goes into each one. Bonus!
Unboxing – Cupcake Royale cupcakes are always large and in charge. Opening the box unleashes a wave of delicious smells. You can immediately smell the maple and the bacon and a hint of vanilla. I nearly drowned in my own saliva, like the proverbial turkey looking up, open-mouthed in a rainstorm. Frosting seems plentiful but not overwhelming. The crown on the cupcake is huge, like some kind of Alice In Wonderland mushroom cap, so there’s lots of surface area for said frosting. The bacon appears crispy and it looks like it was well trimmed away before it was crumbled. All my bits are very lean. I should have asked if they were sourcing their bacon from somewhere special or if it’s just supermarket bulk. Hindsight, right?
Tasting – Everything that was expected and more. The flavors are very harmonious and come in waves. The first is the maple frosting on your tongue. It’s not too sweet or heavy and the flavor is balanced with just the faintest hint of whiskey lurking beneath. The sprinkles of bacon have a nice crunch and usher in the second wave of flavors as you bite into them, complimenting the sweetness of the frosting and bringing your mouthful to a happy savory ending.The cake itself was a nice light texture. It tasted good, but not as much as to rival the rest of toppings. The only criticism I have is that the cake was just the least bit dry. It could have been just an anomaly in this lot. I do not remember ever having drought noted in a cupcake Cupcake Royale in the past.
